Carlisle amputee football star Thomas Atkinson is celebrating a weekend of cup glory.
The Cumbrian captained Portsmouth to victory over Everton in the final of the FA Disability Cup at St George's Park.
Goalkeeper Atkinson, from Belle Vue, played a key role in his side's dramatic 3-2 victory.
He saved a penalty as Pompey came out on top to avenge their defeat to the Toffees in the previous year's final.
